Description:
Planeterra is a non-profit organization with a long history of supporting sustainable community development through travel and voluntourism. By getting to know local people in the communities we visit, we are able to help identify individual needs and act quickly to meet them.
Our range of over 30 projects worldwide - providing water tanks to families in Kenya to a womens weaving co-operative in Peru - offer travelers with a few hours, a few days, or a few dollars to spare, a unique opportunity to make a meaningful difference in the lives of people and communities around the world.
